1Opinion of the Court

|, TRAYLOR, J.

We granted a writ of certiorari to determine whether the court of appeal correctly reviewed the trial court’s ruling in a proceeding to terminate parental rights. We conclude that the court of appeal erred in reversing the trial court’s finding by clear and convincing evidence that the children had been abused or neglected which had resulted in life-threatening and gravely disabling psychological injuries to the children. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeal and remand to the trial court for further proceedings on an expedited basis.
